Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B370 shows a wide spread of performance depending on resolution and graphics preset. At 1920x1080, the lowest settings produce an average of 115 FPS, the medium preset drops to 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 and maximum of 95, high settings average 68 FPS, and ultra falls to 44 FPS. The 1080p results show a clear progression where each step up in quality costs a meaningful amount of frame rate, with the gap between low and ultra being roughly two and a half times the frame output.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings deliver 83 FPS on average, medium yields exactly 60 FPS with a recorded range of 51 to 69 FPS, high averages 49 FPS, and ultra bottoms out at 32 FPS. The medium preset at this resolution is the only setting that lands squarely on the playable threshold of 60 FPS, while high and ultra fall below it. The difference between low and medium is 23 FPS, while the drop from medium to high is only 11 FPS, suggesting that the cost of enabling the high preset is less severe than the cost of moving from low to medium.

At 3840x2160, the Intel Arc B370 struggles significantly. Low settings average 52 FPS, medium averages 38 FPS with a range of 32 to 43 FPS, high averages 31 FPS, and ultra averages 20 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach the 60 FPS target, and even the lowest settings fall 8 FPS short. The spread from low to ultra is 32 FPS, which is the largest absolute difference across all resolutions, indicating that the GPU's limited compute resources are heavily taxed at this pixel count.

Notably, the database only lists minimum and maximum FPS values for the medium preset at each resolution. The 1080p medium range is 70 to 95 FPS, the 1440p medium range is 51 to 69 FPS, and the 4K medium range is 32 to 43 FPS. These ranges show that frame pacing is consistent enough at medium settings, with the spread between minimum and maximum staying within 14 to 19 FPS across all three resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which averages 68 FPS. This is a solid margin above the playable threshold, leaving about 13% headroom above 60 FPS. The medium preset also clears 60 FPS with an average of 83 FPS, but high is the best visual quality option that still maintains playability.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Medium, which averages exactly 60 FPS. This is the boundary case for the playable threshold, with the recorded minimum of 51 FPS meaning that some scenes will dip below 60. The low preset averages 83 FPS and would provide more consistent frame pacing, but medium is the highest quality option that keeps the average at the target.

For 3840x2160, there is no preset that reaches 60 FPS. The verdict data confirms this, listing no playable settings at this resolution. The closest option is low at 52 FPS, which falls 8 FPS short of the threshold. Users targeting 4K would need to accept a frame rate well below the playable standard, making this resolution impractical for smooth gameplay with this combination.

The pattern across resolutions is that the best playable preset degrades from high at 1080p to medium at 1440p, and then disappears entirely at 4K. This progression aligns with the pixel count increasing by 78% from 1080p to 1440p, and then by another 125% from 1440p to 4K, which places progressively more load on the GPU.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the dominant constraint for this game at all tested resolutions. The Intel Arc B370 has a percentile rank of 5 among all GPUs, meaning it sits at the bottom of the performance distribution. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1184, and its nearest rivals are legacy cards like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and ATI Radeon HD 5770, which score within 1% of it. This places the Arc B370 in a performance tier that is simply not designed for high-end gaming workloads.

The CPU, by contrast, is a much stronger component. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 has a percentile rank of 78 among all CPUs, with a multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 20655 and a single-thread score of 2916. It sits within 0.3% of rivals like the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U and AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, which are all mid-range performers. The CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, so it is not the limiting factor in this pairing.

The resolution scaling confirms this imbalance. At 1080p low, the combo hits 115 FPS, but at 4K low it drops to 52 FPS, a reduction of 55%. If the CPU were the bottleneck, this scaling would be much flatter, since CPU load does not increase with resolution. The fact that frame rates fall so steeply as resolution rises points entirely to GPU limitations.

Preset scaling further demonstrates the GPU constraint. At 1080p, moving from low to ultra cuts the frame rate from 115 to 44 FPS, a 62% reduction. At 1440p, the same preset change drops from 83 to 32 FPS, a 61% reduction. At 4K, low to ultra goes from 52 to 20 FPS, a 62% reduction. The consistency of this roughly 60% penalty across all resolutions indicates that the GPU is saturated at every pixel count, and the additional work from higher presets directly translates into lower frame rates.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when looking at the high preset specifically. At 1080p high, the combo manages 68 FPS, while at 1440p high it drops to 49 FPS, a 28% reduction. This is a smaller proportional drop than the low preset's 39% reduction from 115 to 83 FPS, suggesting that at high settings, the GPU is already so overloaded that the resolution change has less relative impact. The CPU is likely capable of feeding the GPU adequately at all tested settings, but the GPU cannot keep up with the demands of higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals from the database, the GPU's performance class is quite old. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. All of these cards would behave essentially identically to the Arc B370 in Undisputed, meaning they would all fail to reach 60 FPS at 4K and would only manage medium settings at 1440p.

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of the Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score of 25517. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446. These CPUs would deliver nearly identical physics and AI performance in Undisputed, and none of them would change the overall frame rate outcome because the GPU is the bottleneck.

When considering alternative combos, pairing any of these rival CPUs with the Arc B370 would produce almost the same measured FPS numbers. The pure CPU benchmark differences of less than 1% would not translate into measurable frame rate changes in a GPU-bound scenario. Conversely, swapping the Arc B370 for one of its rival GPUs would also yield nearly identical results, with the ATI Radeon HD 5770 being the strongest of the group at 0.5% faster, which is within measurement noise.

The practical implication is that users with any of these nearby components should expect the same experience: playable at 1080p high, playable at 1440p medium, and not playable at 4K. The bottleneck is so firmly on the GPU side that CPU differences of 1% or less are irrelevant to the final frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3429 out of 3718 tested combos for Undisputed. This places it in the 92nd percentile of all combos, meaning only about 8% of tested systems perform worse. The rank reflects the GPU's very low position in the overall performance distribution, since the CPU's percentile of 78 is comparatively strong.

This ranking makes sense given the measured performance. The combo can handle 1080p high and 1440p medium, but it falls short of the playable threshold at 4K. Many other combos in the database will have more balanced CPU-GPU pairings, which allows them to reach higher resolutions or higher presets. The 289-combo gap between this system and the bottom of the rankings includes systems with even weaker GPUs, likely integrated graphics or very old discrete cards.

The rank also implies that most modern gaming systems, even mid-range ones, would outperform this combo in Undisputed. The GPU's 5th percentile ranking is the primary driver of this poor standing. For context, the CPU alone ranks in the 78th percentile, so if the GPU were replaced with something more capable, the combo rank would improve dramatically. The current rank is essentially a reflection of the GPU's limitations.

Users considering this combo should understand that its ranking is not a measure of the CPU's capabilities, but rather of the entire system's balance. The Ryzen 7 5700 is a competent processor, but the Arc B370 holds the system back to the point where it only clears the 60 FPS bar at 1080p high and 1440p medium.

The Verdict

This PC can run Undisputed at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. The verdict data confirms that at 1080p, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best option at 68 FPS average. At 1440p, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best option at exactly 60 FPS average. At 4K, there are no playable settings, and the closest is Low at 52 FPS.

For users with a 1080p monitor, the experience is solid. The high preset provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, and even the ultra preset at 44 FPS may be acceptable for those who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, though it falls below the playable standard. For 1440p users, medium is the only preset that hits the target, and the recorded minimum of 51 FPS means there will be occasional dips below 60, but the average stays playable.

For 4K users, this combo is not recommended for Undisputed. The highest achievable average is 52 FPS on low settings, which is 8 FPS short of the threshold. The GPU simply does not have enough compute power for this resolution, and the 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms that it is not designed for this workload.

The overall assessment is that this is a CPU-heavy system with a very weak GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700 is a capable processor, but the Arc B370 limits the system to 1080p high or 1440p medium in Undisputed. Users who want higher resolutions or higher presets would need a significantly stronger GPU, as the CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor at any resolution tested.
